Keyboard Configuration Automated

Starting with this release, the sysidkdb tool configures
your USB language and its corresponding keyboard layout.

With the new sysidkdb tool, the following procedure
occurs:

If the keyboard is self-identifying, the keyboard language
and layout automatically configures during installation.

If the keyboard is not self-identifying, the sysidkdb tool
provides you with a list of supported keyboard layouts during installation,
so that you can select a layout for keyboard configuration.

Previously, the USB keyboard assumed a self-identifying value of one
during the installation. Therefore, all of the keyboards that were not self-identifying
always configured for a U.S. English keyboard layout during installation on
SPARC.

Note –

PS/2 keyboards are not self-identifying. You will have to select
the keyboard layout during the installation.

JumpStart Specifications: If the
keyboard is not self-identifying and you want to prevent being prompted during
your JumpStart installation, select the keyboard language in your sysidkdb file. For JumpStart installation, the default is for a U.S. English
keyboard layout. To select another language and its corresponding keyboard
layout, set the keyboard keyword in your sysidkdb file
.
